[ggez] by [@icefoxen], [@nobbele] and [@PSteinhaus] is a cross-platform game

framework for making 2D games with minimum friction. It aims to implement an

API based on the LÖVE game framework.

This version has finally moved ggez away from pre-ll gfx and into the world

of [wgpu]! This hopefully means less bugs, greater stability and easier

maintainability at the cost of some low performance devices such as the

Raspberry Pi.

As for the user-facing API:

- Instead of module functions, you now have methods on sub-contexts, which

look like `ctx.keyboard.is_key_pressed(key)`.

- You are now required to pass around an explicit canvas to draw onto.

- `DrawParam` now has a Z (aka layer) parameter, so you don't have to draw

objects in order.

- Shaders are far easier to use, via normal Rust structs with a simple derive.

As this is a rather large update and a first release candidate, there are plenty

of bugs that are currently being fixed - please send any issues you encounter

to their [issue tracker][ggez-issues]!
